Presentation: Cyber security mindset for IA engineers
Sebastiaan Koning, an experienced professional in industrial automation and OT cyber security, will discuss the importance of a cyber security mindset for engineers in the IA domain during this presentation. He discusses current developments within OT cyber security and shares practical insights on applying best practices and frameworks.
Sebastiaan also addresses the impact of laws and regulations on the IA domain and the importance of security awareness and training. This presentation provides valuable knowledge for IA professionals to develop a strong cyber security mindset and apply it in their own organisations.
Presentation: IEC 62443: Cyber Security in ICS/OT Environments
Discover the secrets of effective cyber security in ICS/OT environments with the IEC62443 standard. Geoffroy Moens from Schneider Electric will take you on a journey, highlighting the power distribution of a hospital and showing how to apply this powerful standard in practice.
The IEC 62443 standard provides a comprehensive framework for implementing cyber security measures in industrial systems. By following these standards, you strengthen cyber security and reduce risks throughout the product or system lifecycle. With the IEC 62443 standard as your compass, set your course for a future where the security, productivity and reliability of your industrial operations are guaranteed
Workshop Cyber Security - AVANS University
As an engineer in the IA domain, you will without a doubt encounter challenges in the field of cyber security. During this interactive presentation, Marco Rijkschroeff (AVANS University of Applied Sciences) will discuss the problems you face in practice and consider solutions with you.
The presentation will cover performing a risk analysis based on a current example and applying an IA security standard with Security by Design. Marco will thereby show how an appropriate architecture, good management processes and demonstrable assurance of security measures contribute to increasing cyber resilience.
